Addiction

I have experience working with individuals diagnosed with substance use and co-occurring disorders utilizing motivational interviewing, person-centered, CBT, and DBT techniques. I have worked with women in residential treatment settings and in outpatient settings.

I take a harm reduction approach with substance use, substance use disorders, and addiction that centers each client's personal recovery goals and incorporates motivational interviewing to explore where a client is in the moment. My approach centers identity and systems of oppressions with a trauma-informed lens as I recognize substance use and addiction lies with larger social inequities.

Marie has provided dual diagnosis support to those struggling with addiction along with other mental health concerns. She utilizes many different approaches and will tailor them to your needs. Whether you are looking for a harm reduction approach or wanting to incorporating the 12 step model, Marie is able to support you where you are at.

You may have been to treatment or achieved sobriety on your own. But you’re realizing that getting sober isn’t the same as staying sober…and that’s what you really hope to do. You’re likely already aware of some of the stressors or triggers that can arise, and you know how important it is to be prepared to navigate those before you encounter them. Substance abuse counseling is a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space to help you achieve your goal of long-term sobriety.

I worked as an addiction counselor for 2 years. I believe in a biopsychosocial-spiritual model of care and utilize Motivational Interviewing to aid clients in their recovery. Additionally, I utilize the Seeking Safety model to aid in psychoeducation.

I am a CADC-II (Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor) with over 17 years of professional experience in addiction and recovery and have worked in detox, residential, outpatient, jail, and private practice settings. As a licensed psychologist with extensive experience in addiction and substance abuse treatment. I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome addiction and achieve lasting recovery. My approach is evidence-based, empathetic, supportive, and will evaluate level of motivation.

I have spent over 30 years working voluntarily with individuals who struggle with issues of addiction and I have spent the last 2 years working with individuals clinically at an intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization treatment program. I know the 12 steps are not the answer for everyone and my experiences can help you figure out the best options to beat your addiction. I know how hard it is to stop or even seek help. Together, we can free you from the bondage of addiction.

Addiction often presents itself in various forms. The impact of addiction results in cycles of negative behaviors affecting the individual and those they love. As a licensed addiction specialist, I provide clinical services to support and guide you through the process of recovery and change in a caring and non-judgmental atmosphere.

I have experience with working with clients engaging in substance use and navigating sobriety. My goal is to provide nonjudgmental support for you in navigating this process. I have received training through Behavioral Tech in DBT for Substance Use Disorders.

I use cognitive behavioral and acceptance and commitment approaches to address substance use issues. I am very familiar with the 12 step model, but do not insist that it is the only path to sobriety. There are as many approaches to recovery as there are people with substance use concerns. I will help you discover what your needs are, and how to meet those without using substances in a damaging way.

I have many years of experience working in the field of addiction recovery, from both abstinence-based and harm reduction standpoints.

I've worked 10 years in the field of addiction/chemical dependency, substance abuse, and substance use. I am a trained expert in the Craving Identification Model (CIM), an effective treatment model in substance use treatment. I utilize both harm reduction and abstinence based techniques to meet client's special needs and circumstances. I believe addiction is a spectrum that needs adequate assessment to create and execute effective treatment plans.

I strongly support and have professionally worked with multiple forms of Recovery and most strongly support 12 step recovery principles. Many can struggle with the rigidity of some aspects of this form of recovery. I help others adjust to a new life in recovery using a inclusive, open minded approach. A life created and lived within the steps holds many new challenges and successes, both of which can require support or suggestion over time. I live in recovery myself, and have for 37 years.

I have years of experiences working with clients at various stages of recovery

I’ve been working with addiction for over 10-years. From shopping, gambling, work, exercise, gaming and substance or alcohol addiction. My personal experiences have deepened my understanding and passion for working with those struggles from addiction.

As an individual in long-term recovery, I intimately understand the challenges of getting and staying sober from alcohol and other substances. Loss of friends and your social circle, persistent feelings of isolation, and finding new means of coping with difficult situations/emotions/stress are just a few of the issues I tackle with clients in recovery. I am uniquely equipped to help both newly sober individuals as well as those in long-term recovery.
